How to keep your 7-year-old from acting like she's 21?

Dear taz, Unfortunately little girls want to grow up so fast. They want to wear the clothes, make up, that big girls do. They want to go on my space or facebook, stay up late etc. etc. This is were we become parents and we use the word NO an awful lot and staying in control of your household is important. So you say no now you need to give some type of alternative…You can’t wear this but you can choose between this or that. Perhaps the model is wearing a certain top that is too reveling and this is what she wants to wear. Perhaps you will allow it with a cover up shirt underneath. Or instead of my space perhaps barbie world or something age appropriate. Do your homework so you can offer her all the alternatives. Sue…good luck

i agree with jbndkn… but go into her closet… and just take all the innapropriate clothes out and trash them. Say that she’s living under your roof and she will jsut have to accept it. explain to her why the clothes arent important (guys only seing you as a sex symbol,etc)…

good to know youre one of those parents that isnt supporting buying her little girl slut*y clothes

here is a ideal my sis is only 7 and she acted like she way 21 what my mom did was take every thing form her and made her bye every thing back and she even had to bye food cloths and all that and her room so there is a ideal for you

this is what u do,if there are other simblings in the house and if they are around her age then heres what…for a while treat her like she’s 21 then treat the others there age around her,and then after while she going to realize that i dont wanna be grown yet

taz try telling her that she has to go and leave home and go to adult school in a different place away from mom and dad and start to pack up all of her baby toys and write good wil on the box and hide the toys from her until she thinks she’s seven again. start filling out fake collage applications and hide them and make her think that she is going to collage

this is just a faze. shell get over it,

buy him something he has always wanted or talk 2 him
